In his career as both an artist and teacher, Aaron Knochel has explored the use of innovative technology in creative practices from classrooms to museum contexts. His current research develops connections between visual culture studies and actor-network theory.
"I'm very interested in how arts based community practices might overlap with hacker spaces, how both of those combinations might also be able to attend to some of those disparities that we see that are absolutely associated in socioeconomic frameworks," Aaron states.
In the fall 2011, Aaron will start his position as an Assistant Professor of Art Education at SUNY New Paltz (http://www.newpaltz.edu/). Aaron is finishing his dissertation research at Ohio State University in Art Education.
